Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Why did Allah show the Sacred Mosque to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), given that he had already seen it in reality during the Night Journey?
Answer:
Because he did not retain its description as required. Therefore, Allah raised it to him so that he could describe it based on direct observation, not on report. A report is not like seeing it. He describes it based on direct observation, not on report. Yes.
